Executive Summary

This report uses data from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and the

U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics to identify high-growth and

high-wage occupations in the state of Florida, and the associated CTE Career

Clusters. This information can be used to assist educational and private industry CTE

stakeholders in identifying whether the CTE Programs of Study that schools and

colleges offer are well aligned with current and future local labor market needs.

The report finds that:

Across the state of Florida, employment is projected to increase by 12.4

percent between 2014 and 2022, with an average increase of 338,397 job

openings per year.

The average annual wage in 2014 for Florida was $43,651, and a “high-wage”

occupation in the state is one paying 20 percent above that (approximately

$52,300). About one-quarter (25.2 percent) of projected new openings will be

in occupations that are classified as high-wage.

Health Science; Business Management & Administration; Education & Training;

Finance; Information Technology; and Marketing, Sales & Service are the five

CTE Career Clusters associated with the greatest number of projected annual

high-growth, high-wage job openings statewide between 2014 and 2022.

There is considerable variation by Workforce Region in the projected growth in

employment, average wages, and CTE Career Clusters most associated with

high-growth, high-wage occupations. Thus, the need for education/training in

various industries will differ significantly around the state.

The extent to which CTE programs correspond to labor market demands has

important implications both for students and for employers. Students want to be

prepared for good careers, while employers seek skilled workers to fill jobs in high-

demand areas. Recent high school and college graduates make an important

contribution to the state’s ability to respond to economic growth needs.

Introduction

Career and technical education (CTE) programs play a vital role in preparing high

school students for life after graduation. The Carl D. Perkins Act of 2006 (Perkins)

requires states that receive federal CTE funding to align secondary and

postsecondary programs, so that students can transition seamlessly from a high

school CTE program to a certificate, associate’s degree, or bachelor’s degree program

in their chosen field of study. How well career and technical education programs

correspond to labor market needs is important for both students and employers.

Students want good careers, and employers want skilled workers who can fill jobs in

high-demand areas.

Research shows that many states struggle to align education and training with

workforce trends (Dougherty, 2003; Grubb et al., 1999; Leigh & Gill, 2007; Mokher,

2011). Many states have a history of local control over CTE programs, and increasing

alignment requires a cultural shift. Strong leadership is needed to promote change,

and states may have difficulties sustaining efforts if there is turnover of key staff

involved in alignment efforts. Different departments and agencies typically oversee

K-12 education, postsecondary education, and workforce development, which makes

collaboration challenging. In addition, there are often insufficient fiscal and human

resources to implement new CTE programs. Even if resources are available, there may

be a lack of technical assistance from state agencies to local providers to support

implementation.

Florida offers some 360 secondary and postsecondary CTE programs statewide

(Florida State Board of Education, 2008). This report aims to provide a resource for

the state of Florida in planning for these programs. School, district, and college staff,

as well as state policymakers and local Workforce Investment Boards, can use the

report in conjunction with other resources to inform the development and expansion

of CTE programs as well as decisions to modify or eliminate programs no longer

aligned with labor market needs.

Career Clusters, Career Pathways, and Programs of

Study

The National Career Clusters® Framework developed by the National Association of

State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium (NASDCTEc) organizes CTE

educational programs into 16 broad career areas.1 The Career Clusters originated in

recognition of a national need to raise the content standards of CTE instructional

programs and to better align CTE with the needs of employers (Ruffing, 2006). The

Career Clusters organize 79 different “Career Pathways,” defined as more specific

groups of occupations.

Florida has adopted the 16 National Career Clusters®, as well as a 17th cluster

focused on careers in energy (Florida Department of Education, 2015), as follows:

Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources

Architecture & Construction

Arts, A/V Technology & Communication

Business Management & Administration

Education & Training

Energy

Engineering and Technology Education

Finance

Government & Public Administration

Health Science

Hospitality & Tourism

Human Services

Information Technology

Law, Public Safety & Security

Manufacturing

Marketing, Sales & Service

Transportation, Distribution & Logistics

The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) used its Career Clusters and Career

Pathways as a basis for developing statewide “Programs of Study”—the aligned

technical education programs across the nation.

3

secondary and postsecondary CTE programs required under Perkins. These Programs

of Study within each Career Cluster for high school students then are implemented

at the local level. The requirement is that each local Program of Study include a

Career Pathway leading to a postsecondary credential and aligning with local

industry and economic development needs (Florida State Board of Education, 2008).

Reporting on Florida

This is not the first analysis of Florida job projections organized by Career Cluster.

In 2011, researchers at the Georgetown University Center on Education and the

Workforce, National Research Center for Career and Technical Education, and

NASDCTEc used national data to project job growth by Career Cluster in each of the

50 states. Their study projected that in 2018, the largest number of jobs in Florida

would be within the cluster Marketing, while Information Technology would

experience the largest percentage growth (Carnevale et al., 2011). However, the

Georgetown report was somewhat limited, in that it did not disaggregate data by

region and its data extend only to 2018.

By contrast, this report maps Florida’s Career Clusters with projections from the

Florida Department of Economic Opportunity for high-growth, high-wage jobs

between 2014 and 2022 statewide and for each of Florida’s 24 Workforce Regions.2

School, district, and college staff, as well as state policymakers and local Workforce

Investment Boards3, can use the report to inform the development and expansion of

CTE programs as well as decisions to modify or eliminate programs no longer

aligned with labor market needs.

At the time of this report, projections are available for the period 2014 (the most

recent actuals available) through 2022, with the caveat that occupational projections

are always subject to uncertainty. (It always is difficult to predict the introduction of

new industries into a region or account exactly for every factor affecting the

economic environment.)

The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity provides its occupational

projections for the state as a whole and by Workforce Region. Table 1 identifies the

counties and school districts located within each of the 24 Workforce Regions.

5 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system developed by the U.S. Bureau of Labor

Statistics groups occupations with similar skills or work activities to ease comparisons. The

2000 SOC system classifies occupations using a four-level hierarchy: major group, minor group,

broad occupation, and detailed occupation. Each occupation has a six-digit code: digits 1 and 2

are the major group, digit 3 is the minor group, digits 4 and 5 are the broad occupation, and

digit 6 is the detailed occupation. More information about SOCs can be found at

“High-growth/high-wage” defined

We used the employment projections and 2014 average hourly wages from the

Florida Department of Economic Opportunity’s Bureau of Labor Market Statistics

(2015) to identify high-growth, high-wage jobs. Data were provided and analyzed

separately for each Workforce Region and for the state as a whole.

High-growth occupations. For this analysis, we classified an occupation as “high-

growth” if it met the following requirements in the Florida employment projection

data:

Is in demand (i.e., more job openings than workers to fill them) between 2014

and 2022

Is projected to continue to have positive growth through 2022

For a specific Workforce Region, is projected to have at least 40 total openings

between 2014 and 2022 or an average of 5 or more per year

For each occupation, we looked separately at data statewide (all regions added

together) and at data for each Workforce Region individually. This means that an

occupation might be classified as high-growth in one region of the state but not in

another, or in one or more regions but not statewide or vice versa.

High-growth and high-wage occupations. Among these high-growth occupations, we

then classified an occupation as “high-wage” if it also met the following requirement

in the Florida wage data:

Pays 20 percent or more above the average hourly wage (2014 actuals)

Again, for each occupation, we looked at data statewide (compared with the

statewide 2014 average wage) and at data for each Workforce Region alone

(compared with each region’s 2014 average wage). And similarly, the same high-

growth occupation might be classified as high-wage in one region of the state but not

in another, or in one or more regions but not statewide or vice versa.

7

This method of identifying high-wage occupations was used in a report by CNA for

the Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) Appalachia to identify and link high-wage

jobs in Tennessee with CTE Career Clusters (Mokher, 2011). In addition, for the

discussion that follows, we converted the average hourly wages provided by the

Florida Department of Economic Opportunity to average annual wages (full-time

equivalent over the course of a year = 2,080 hours).

There is a limitation to our approach. Single criterion for whether an occupation is

high-wage is that it masks variability within a Cluster. That is, an occupation might

not get an overall classification of high-wage because most of its jobs pay salaries

below the 20 percent cutoff, while within that occupation there still could be

opportunities for high-wage jobs, particularly for students with higher levels of

education. For example, most occupations in the Cluster Agriculture, Food, & Natural

Resources are not high-wage; however, the occupation Veterinarian is.

To highlight this, we report for each SOC occupational code the minimum level of

training/education most commonly needed to enter that high-growth, high-wage

occupation, as observed by the Florida Department of Education. We use the

following classifications:

Less than a high school diploma

High school diploma

Postsecondary vocational training

Associate’s degree

Bachelor’s degree

Master’s degree or higher

CTE Career Clusters mapping

Finally, we mapped the occupations that we had identified as being high-growth,

high-wage, both statewide and individually by Workforce Region, to the 16 nationally

recognized Career Clusters. To do this, we used the crosswalk between the SOC

system and the National Career Clusters® developed for the U.S. Department of

Education (DTI Associates, 2007). This allows for any SOC occupation to be linked to

a Career Cluster. Each SOC code can only be matched to a single Career Cluster to

avoid double-counting. However, this may underestimate the actual number of high-

wage and high-growth occupations within each Career Cluster if some occupations

are related to multiple Career Clusters. For example, the SOC code for “Accountants

and Auditors” is matched with the “Business Management & Administration” Career

Cluster, yet this occupation may also be relevant for concentrators in the “Finance”

Career Cluster

8

Florida has an additional 17th Career Cluster available to its students called Energy

(Florida Department of Education, 2015). However, a mapping of this Career Cluster

to SOC occupations was not available at the time of analysis. As a result, we included

each energy-related occupation in one of the other 16 Career Clusters that seemed

relevant, instead of reporting those separately.

Findings

The first part of this section presents statewide information on occupational

projections and average wages, and describes variation by Workforce Region. Next,

we provide the total number of annual projected high-growth, high-wage job

openings in Florida for 2014–2022, and the corresponding CTE Career Clusters.

The appendix includes supplemental tables that replicate the statewide results for

each of the 24 Workforce Regions.

Workforce projections

Across the state of Florida, the total number of people employed in all occupations is

projected to increase by 12.4 percent between 2014 and 2022 (Florida Bureau of

Labor Market Statistics, 2015). This is equivalent to an average increase of 338,397

new job openings per year. However, the amount of growth projected varies in

different regions of the state (Figure 1 below). The projected change in employment

ranges from a low of 4.1 percent in Workforce Region 6, located in northern Florida

and encompassing part of the Tallahassee metropolitan area, to a high of 17.2

percent in Workforce Region 24, which includes Fort Myers and Naples.

High-wage occupations

For this report, we classified occupations as high-wage if they pay 20 percent or

more above the average wage. One important consideration when examining the

results for specific occupations is not only whether an occupation is classified as

high-wage, but whether further education in the field can contribute to a lifetime

career pathway that leads to higher wages.

According to the most recent available actuals (2014), the average annual wage in

Florida was $43,651 statewide (Florida Bureau of Labor Market Statistics, 2015). This

means that statewide a high-wage occupation in Florida pays at least $52,300

annually.

Looking at the average 2014 annual wage by individual Workforce Region, however,

the dollar amount that defines an occupation as high-wage varies: from less than

$35,000 annually in seven regions to more than $45,000 in four regions (Figure 2

below).

10

Figure 2. Average yearly wages for all occupations (2014), by Florida Workforce

Region.




About one-quarter (25.2 percent) of projected new openings will be in occupations

that are classified as high-wage. The distribution of projected openings in high-wage

occupations is fairly consistent across the state, ranging from 20 percent in

Workforce Region 4 to 31 percent in Workforce Region 16.

CTE Career Clusters associated with high-growth, high-

wage occupations

As shown in Figure 3 (below), Health Science is the Florida CTE Career Cluster

associated with the greatest number of projected annual high-growth, high-wage job

openings statewide between 2014 and 2022 (4,458 projected openings annually).

This is followed closely by the Business Management & Administration cluster, which

has a projected 4,261 annual job openings.

Other Florida CTE Career Clusters with relatively large numbers of projected high-

growth, high-wage job openings are Education & Training; Finance; Information

Technology; and Marketing, Sales & Service. Each of these clusters is projected to see

an increase in high-growth, high-wage job openings of more than 2,000 annually.

Statewide Projected High Growth/High Wage Jobs Annually

12

Which CTE Career Cluster is associated with the most high-growth, high-wage job

openings varies by Workforce Region. As Figure 4 indicates, in more than half of the

regions (N=13), Business Management & Administration is the Career Cluster most

commonly associated with new high-growth, high-wage jobs. The next most common

cluster is Health Science (N=7 regions). In the remaining Workforce Regions, the

Career Cluster that has the most projected high-growth and high-wage openings is

Education & Training (N=3 regions) or Marketing, Sales & Service (N=1 region).

The appendix provides more detailed information on which occupations are high-

growth and high-wage in each region, along with the projected average annual

openings, 2014 average wage, minimum education or preparation needed, and

associated CTE Career Cluster. Additionally, Table A1 summarizes the information

included in all of the preceding maps (Figures 1, 2, and 4).

job openings, by Florida Workforce Region.




Conclusions

The findings from this report identify what occupations are projected to be high-

growth and high-wage in each of Florida’s 24 Workforce Regions, along with the

13

corresponding CTE Career Cluster for each occupation. The findings from this report

should be used in conjunction with resources provided by local agencies such as the

Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and the Florida Department of

Education, as well as national resources from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This

information can be used by educators to identify which Career Clusters they should

be offering, expanding, or otherwise modifying in order to ensure that students are

prepared for opportunities in high-wage, high-growth careers. This is important

because one of the primary purposes of career and technical education according to

the Perkins Act is to prepare students for “high wage, or high demand occupations in

current or emerging professions” (Perkins, Sec. 2-1). The results also may be of

interest to K–12 and postsecondary administrators as they prioritize CTE Career

Clusters to add or expand in their CTE programs.
